I love that there's a way to deal with shitbrained bigots on lemmy. It sucks entire servers get brigades, but it's fucking awesome that they can be blocked. And unlike with the other site, if a popular sub was taken over, that name was lost. Now you can just remake [email protected] and I have never been happier to be off reddit. :)

Can't figure out how to edit on connect, so I'm just adding:

The best wired internet available to me is dialup (old school 56k, baby). We used a mobile hotspot from PCs for people (if you're at all low income, seriously check them out. Life changers).

I've lived in small towns since 2009. 100mps would be a fucking dream come true. The fastest speed I've had in the last decade plus is 25mps until we got TMobile home internet, and now I typically get around 50-70. Technically it's up to 300 with our distance to the tower, but there's a fucking mountain in between us, so I take what I can get. :/
